BBC hasn’t yet announced a premiere date for Top Gear Season 24 (aka the second one without Clarkson, Hammond and May) yet, but we are looking forward to it, mainly because of the promotions of Chris Harris and Rory Reid.
Although those two hosts only had a few segments each over the entire last season, they were easily the highlights of the show, particularly those presented by Harris. It is fitting then that Top Gear has been uploading these reviews to its YouTube channel recently and the latest is certainly the best of them all.
It features Harris testing the Aston Martin Vulcan at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi. When you combine Harris’ expert driving and presenting skills with some epic cinematography, you get a truly stunning review, potentially better than Jeremy Clarkson’s review of the Vulcan in the second episode of The Grand Tour.
Unlike the McLaren P1 GTR and LaFerrari FKKX, which it rivals, the Vulcan doesn’t have any hybrid wizardry. Instead, it makes use of a naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V12 engine delivering 820 hp at 7,750 rpm and 575 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. Good to see some still make them the old-fashioned way, isn’t it?
